Pinup Queen All-Grain Kit

Pinup Queen — Blonde Ale

ABV: 5.3%   |   IBU: 15   |   Color: 5 SRM (straw gold)

Golden, crisp, and effortlessly smooth — Pinup Queen is the kind of beer that commands attention without saying a word. Built on a clean 2-row base with a touch of Munich malt for warmth and Red Wheat for a silky body, this blonde ale is finished with earthy Willamette hops for a subtle, floral bitterness. Easy to brew, easy to drink, and impossible to ignore.

What’s in the Box

Grain Bill

• Premium 2-Row — the clean, bready backbone
• Wheat Red Malt — a touch of body and head retention
• Munich malt — a whisper of malty depth

Hops

Willamette hops, split between a 60-minute bittering addition and a 10-minute flavor addition — mild, floral, and never harsh.

Yeast

SafAle US-05 (American Ale, dry)

Tasting Notes

Pale gold in the glass with a soft malt sweetness up front, a gentle floral hop note in the middle, and a clean, dry finish that never overstays its welcome.

Good For

Brand-new brewers who want a forgiving, feedback-friendly first batch, and anyone who wants a lawnmower beer with a little more character than the stuff in a can.

Every Kit Includes

• A pre-milled, vacuum-sealed grain bill — no scale, no mill required
• Hops pre-weighed and bagged by addition, so you add what the recipe calls for, when it calls for it
• A reliable dry yeast strain — no starter, no smack pack, no temperature-sensitive liquid yeast
• Any specialty ingredients, such as lactose, lemon peel, whirlfloc, or yeast nutrient, pre-measured and bagged
• A full recipe instruction card with mash schedule, boil time, and water volumes
• Bottle caps, sized for your full batch — not something you have to source yourself
• Priming sugar, pre-measured for bottling day — ready to go when your beer is

A Premium Kit Without the Premium Price

A lot of the big-name kit sellers stop at grain, hops, and instructions — yeast, priming sugar, bottle caps, and even grain bags get sold as separate add-ons. MoreBeer, for example, states outright that its recipe kits “DO NOT include grain bags, yeast or priming sugar.” Add those items up at most retailers and you're looking at another $10–$15 on top of the kit price before you can actually finish a batch.

Every Kettle & Keg kit already includes the dry yeast, the bottle caps, and the priming sugar. What you see is what it costs to go from box to bottle — no surprise add-ons at checkout.
